Multi award-winning Russian thriller following the isolated and ultimately dangerous relationship between a student and veteran meteorologist working in the Arctic Circle.
"On a desolate island, two men work at a small meteorological station taking readings from their radioactive surroundings. Sergei (Sergei Puskepalis), a gruff professional in his fifties, takes his job very seriously. His new partner, bright eyed Pavel (Grigory Dobrygin), retreats to his MP3 player and video games to avoid Sergei's imposing presence. One day while Sergei is out, Pavel receives terrible news but is too intimidated to disclose the information to Sergei. When the truth is finally revealed, the consequences explode against a chilling backdrop of thick fog, sharp rocks, and the merciless Arctic." (Source: Official Synopsis)
